Local mini bullrider Hunter Maxwell from Los Molinos is heading to Anaheim to ride in the PBR, one of three riders chosen from across the country to ride Friday night in the main event during the PBR.

Maxwell is the No. 1 minibull rider in California in the 10- and 11-year-old class and is one of the nation’s top minibull riders in the country. He rides for the MBR, which is a byproduct of the PBR.

Maxwell rides all across the United States during the year, going to places like New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi and Las Vegas, where he qualified for the world championships the last tow years.

In 2017, Maxwell was the single highest point gainer in the junior class at the Chris Shivers last chance qualifier, one of the nation’s top minibull rodeos in the country.

Maxwell is a fifth-grader at Lassen View Elementary, where he is an honor roll student.
